Episode 4 recap: The Storm of the Third Child.
Hu Xiaoni felt nauseous these past few days. She suspected that she might be pregnant, but she was excelling at work and the sudden prospect of having a child could potentially impact her. The next day, Hu Xiaoni still bought a pregnancy test, and although it showed only one line, Hu Xiangnan still felt it might not be accurate. Her brother also mentioned the recent things Hu Xiangnan had told him to remind their mother about, indicating that Hu Xiangnan was eager to have another child. Soon, Hu Xiaoni's mother returned home.
Hu Xiaoni and Hu Xiangnan shared their thoughts with their father. In reality, Hu Xiaoni didn't really want to have a child, but Hu Xiangnan was very keen on the idea. This time, however, Hu Chen stood on his daughter's side, leaving Hu Xiangnan somewhat disappointed. When He Fang learned that his daughter-in-law was pregnant again, he finally spared no expense and bought chicken, duck, and fish to nourish her body since Hu Xiaoni's mother had also been away from home during this time.
Hu Chen and He Fang did not back down, and both families engaged in a debate to decide whether to have a third child. Hu Xiangnan and He Fang insisted on Hu Xiaoni having another child, but both Hu Chen and Hu Xiaoni herself felt it was unnecessary, considering they already had two children. Hu Xiaoni still didn't want her work to be affected by having a child, and Hu Chen continued to argue that He Xiangnan was an interloper, insisting that everything should revolve around the Hu family.
No agreement was reached, and in the end, the two elders decided to settle the matter with a game of chess. Unexpectedly, Hu Chen lost. Hu Xiaoni's mother was actually very eager for her daughter to have another child and had already prepared everything in advance, but Hu Xiaoni told her mother that she didn't really want this child, which led to her mother criticizing her.
In the evening, He Xiangnan's father brought a teacher along, claiming they were there to provide prenatal education for Hu Xiaoni. However, when they went to the hospital for an examination the next day, they discovered that Hu Xiaoni was not pregnant at all. It was all a misunderstanding.
